Affordable, stable, and safe housing creates stability with work, school, health, and wellbeing. But if housing is expensive, inconsistent, or dangerous, families are uprooted, children suffer, and quality of life declines. Myisha Johnson is MCU's new Housing Justice Organizer. We talk about the importance of a Tenant's Bill of Rights, the lack of affordable housing in St. Louis, unhealthy property, fighting evictions, and how to find help.
For help with unhealthy environments, discrimination, increased rent, or eviction, these are resources available in St. Louis:
Equal Housing Opportunity Council
Legal Services of Eastern Missouri
Missouri Housing Development Commission
